He might have liked to argue face to face with her in the past, but now, he had learned to fight indirectly. Faced with his cold expression earlier, she could feel herself freezing to death.The scandal between Silvia and Ethan broke out the night before, and there was no one who was worse off than Julian.Ryan invited him out for a drink and questioned him sternly, “Is this what you meant by letting go temporarily for a better future?”He had pushed her directly into the arms of another man!Julian was embarrassed. “Who would've known such a thing would happen?”Julian felt that his original advice was right. It was not a good idea for Ryan and Silvia to continue being entangled, but the world was unpredictable. Silvia and Ethan made the headlines the moment Ryan was planning to make a move. Julian understood Ryan’s annoyance. However, such is fate. Ryan drank in silence, and Julian could only accompany him.“What are you going to do now?”“Would I still ask you to co
Nevertheless, Silvia was confused about her relationship with Ryan. She did not know where to go from here.She had firmly told herself not to look back after the divorce, and she had forbidden herself from crossing paths with him again after her daughter’s incident the last time. They obviously had not been in contact for more than half a year, so why did he stir up her emotions so easily during the last few times she saw him? She could not help but recall his affectionate and persistent expression. Autumn stayed with her for many days until it was almost the New Year. Silvia called Ophelia on December 29th to tell her that she would be sending the little girl back since the New Year was coming. After all, Ryan had custody of their daughter, so she figured the little girl should celebrate the New Year at their house. To be honest, Silvia was reluctant to send her daughter back. This was the longest period of time that the mother and daughter had spent together in the past six
“He felt that you and Autumn rarely see each other, so he wanted to let you spend more time with her.”Ophelia conveyed Ryan’s thoughts clearly. Hearing that, Silvia was at a loss for words. He thought that she would still be working at the factory, so he was trying to create as many opportunities for her to spend as much time with Autumn as she could. In the end, she calmed down and said to Ophelia, “Please let him know that I really appreciate it!”Ophelia smiled at the other end. “I think it’s better for you to thank him personally.” Ophelia was well aware of everything that had happened between Silvia and Ryan during this period of time. Her son was obviously ready to pursue Silvia again, but she and Ethan had made the headlines, and that pissed Ryan off. He stopped contacting Silvia, and it was impossible for Silvia to take the initiative to contact Ryan either. As a bystander, Ophelia was extremely anxious. She thought it would be better to let Silvia thank her son so t
“Mr. Ryan.”Ryan took a step back indistinctly and turned to look at the person who had walked over.He did not know who she was, nor had he ever noticed her. The woman had a hot figure; she was wearing a bright red dress with sultry makeup on. At this moment, only one word came to Ryan’s mind—vulgar.He raised his brows, looked at the other party coldly, and asked indifferently, “Can I help you?” Ryan had met his fair share of such women. Every time he went out for a social gathering, these women who would throw themselves at him. They felt that as long as they were pretty or had an attractive figure, men would be as contemptible as they were and sleep with them. After the news of his divorce from Silvia came out, there were even more women who couldn’t wait to try their luck with him.He really could not care less about them. Not everyone could be Silvia. Unfortunately, this group of busty but brainless women could not understand this logic. The woman spoke in a flirta
These three words rang in a low and deep voice from the other end of the line. The voice sounded as pleasant as mellow wine, stirring up her emotions in the silent night.Silvia felt inexplicably confused again. In order to hide her emotions, she replied angrily, “You’re drunk.”He answered leisurely at the other end, “I’m drunk, but don’t they say that people only speak the truth when they're drunk?”Ryan, who was on the other end of the line, threw himself on the comfortable sofa in the living room. He felt at ease as he lay in a very comfortable posture. Hearing her voice and feeling her presence calmed him down.He had just returned from the dinner party. His clients wouldn't let him go, and he only called her at this hour after taking a shower. He was annoyed that she had only sent a thank-you text without even calling him, but he still took the initiative to call her in the end. Silvia began unconsciously picking at the blinds next to her as she ignored his confession o
‘How should I face all the cold and warm winds that paint my face with sadness?‘How should I think of the past and the future that are all filled with pain? ‘From now on, my heart will never be clear again.‘From now on, the mountains will never look green again.‘I’m afraid to look at the fallen autumn flowers.‘I’m afraid that the flowers in spring will look like tears.’ After Silvia read the poem word by word, she felt goosebumps all over her body again.‘Gosh, what kind of cliché poem is this?’ She could feel a wave of literary and artistic aura fill her.After searching online, she found that it was an ancient love poem.Silvia thought of the collection of poems Ryan had put on the bedside and was utterly speechless. It was said that a mere age difference of three years would lead to a generation gap. She was six years younger than him—that would make a wider generation gap. However, she had to admit that it seemed appropriate for him to use this poem to describe h
Ophelia had a good impression of Mrs. Maton’s youngest son, so she agreed immediately when Mrs. Maton brought this up that day. Jason had completed his studies some time ago, but Mrs. Maton said that he did not return to Crosavia for the time being because he had been doing his internship elsewhere for a period of time. He happened to come back during the New Year and would immediately start working as a lecturer at a university after coming back.Ophelia was very fond of Jason’s job. He was a scholarly man, so he left a very good impression on others.Nora had already started working, and Ophelia had always disapproved of her daughter’s job. Ophelia thought that Nora would join Pierce Group directly after graduation, but she ended up working at Maton Group as Julian’s subordinate.According to Ryan, Nora was asked to go to Maton Group to learn the ropes to avoid being criticized by the people in Pierce Group for nepotism if she were to join Pierce Group right away.Although Op
She would not do anything for him anymore when her love for him was gone.Greg was drinking alone when Ryan delivered food to him. He watched as Ryan took the dishes out from the thermos box one by one, then he laughed to himself and asked, “Nora was the one who asked you to send these dishes to me, right?”Ryan acquiesced to Greg’s words without saying a word. Greg knew that his daughter was the only one who had him in mind at this moment. “Sit down and have a drink with me.”Greg poured himself another glass of wine after Ryan had arranged the food. He then grabbed a glass from the side for Ryan, but Ryan raised his hand to stop him.“I won’t be drinking. I still have to drive back later.”Even though Ryan refused to drink, he still sat down across from Greg.Only the father and son duo were in the big dining room.There should have been a family of many people sitting here, old and young.This seemed to be the first time Ryan and Greg had sat face to face calmly since they
